The Sydney Morning Herald: For the first time in decades, the fourth panel of Botticelli's "The Story of Nastagio degli Onesti" series will be on public display, at the Palazzo Strozzi in Florence.
The four-panel series, commissioned by Lorenzo de' Medici in 1483, tells a
story from Boccaccio's Decameron, in which a reluctant bride is
persuaded to marry after her fiancé arranges for her to view a ghostly
terror. The fourth panel shows the wedding celebration.
